That remark is totally uncalled for. No one is having a “hissy fit” except you folks who refuse to face reality like an adult. Political warfare is nothing new or unusual. Unfortunately, there are all too many people who refuse to learn history and learn the lessons of history. You should try reading about Bleeding Kansas, the LeCompton Constitution, and the horrendous vote fraud, border raids, and illegitimate government. So many of you folks like to talk about reality as if you had some kind of personal ownership of it not shared with anyone who disagrees with you. You folks like to turn a deaf ear to whatever you don’t want to hear or confront. You might want to consider the fact that you cannot hide from the ugly realities of people who mean to do you harm and do so surreptitiously and boldly in the hopes folks like you will find every excuse in the world to deny its existence. Yet, you complain about the threat, while you refuse to even consider or listen to any other alternative to your own head in the ground solutions. Then you go around claiming someone else is having a “hissy fit” “or calling people names” or insulting people or...anyhting but acknowledge the need for another soultion bedise the ineffective bumps into the same old walls.

Wouldn’t it be much more productive to not bear false witness, listen politely, forbear perceptions of misunderstanding, and generally give the same kind of cooperation you would ask others to give to you?

The vote fraud in Kansas led into the Civil War in which more Americans died over a dispuite about interpretations of the Constitution in any other war before or since in American history. It might just be worth a little of your time and patient consideration to avoid the same types of consequences today.

We are being deliberately led down that path by the Ruling Class and the MarxoFascists. The Ruling Class more useful idiots for Obama's true believers at the moment. I know you understand that and that Marxist history showcases such bloodshed is needed to solidify control, I just wanted your comment to get a second reading for emphasis of how close we are to the consequences history lays out for us.

Been some months since I had an opportunity to talk about the orchard and the slave catchers, but here it is ~ was out with one of my great aunts ~ and she was old enough she knew men who'd fought in the Civil War, with Grant, and some men in the area who'd fought in Kansas ~ and I was but a wee lad of 4 and we were walking through Great Grandpa's big orchard across the street and she said "see those little piles of rocks? ~ they say that there's a slave catcher buried under each pile" and I looked around the orchard and there were a large numbers of little piles of rocks.

Through the years I learned more about that and then one day her husband, who'd bought that orchard upon Great Grandpa's death took his road builder and tore down the orchard. They said he took particular care in pushing all those little piles of rock into one big pile at the end of the field, and that was the end of the slavecatchers.

Well, an update on the story. I was reading the latest release of "The History of Jennings County Indiana" ~ and came upon the story of the slavecatcher in Ohio who was sent to his reward by a large mob of anti-slavery folks in Xenia. They put his body in a box and dispatched him to North Vernon Indiana where he was taken off and "BURIED IN THE LARGE ORCHARD".

He wasn't the first one put down in the orchard, and he wasn't the last one ~ but there were Fur Shur a bunch.

Now that's political warfare and rebellion against the power of the federal government ~ they were the ones who'd unleashed slavecatchers on the free people living in the MidWest ~ that war could have started just anywhere in the country. With the Runaway Slave Act in place it could have started right there on the banks of the Muscatatuck ~ which, I guess it did eh!

Later on men from that region in various Indiana volunteer brigades burned every city in the South to the ground ~ kind of a retribution for bringing slavery and its evils into their midst.

Worthy of note, the Civil War began at a time when the lower MidWest was having one of the worst "panics" in history ~ all the young men were unemployed ~ just like today ~ and the Democrats and Whigs didnt have any solutions to that problem. Not only that, they seemed oblivious to the plight of those folks ~ just like now.
